First Coins of the Colonists

Sold out!
These replicas are cast directly from rare coins in America’s colonial period (metal for currency was in short supply from the motherland, so the colonists often had to barter for goods). These coins have interesting stories behind their creation – one was called a “hoggy” because of the abundance of native pigs and even features a pig on the obverse side.  Made fromlead free pewter, the set contains six coins with full histories for each.
